NOTHING on the news sites on the internet about this. If anyone
knows of anything specific .. I'd love to hear about it.
(I'd REALLY like to hear what Saudi Arabia will do (if anything)
to help. Like dropping oil prices??? )

UPDATE: Russia offers help to U.S. after deadly hurricane
MOSCOW, August 30 (RIA Novosti) - Russia is ready to assist the United States in dealing with the damage caused by hurricane Katrina, which has taken 68 lives so far and left behind a tremendous amount of devastation, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a message to U.S. President George Bush Tuesday.
"Russia deeply sympathizes with Americans, who faced a disaster of such a colossal scale, and is ready to offer necessary assistance," Putin said.
Putin asked Bush to extend his condolences to families and relatives of those killed in the disaster.
"Accept my sincere words of regret in connection with the natural calamity in the USA. I know that hurricane Katrina, which swept the southeast coast of the country, resulted in deaths, left tens of thousands of Americans without roofs over their heads, and caused substantial damage to the region's economy," the message said.

Good question.... I sent my check to the Red Cross, I hope that it goes for food, medical and shelter...
I feel that those Casinos that were there, should "put up" the money for helping to rebuild the cities... think about all the money that the people spent in those places....
